"Only white life is protected in America," one protester in Washington shouted Sunday, a day after a Florida jury found the Hispanic former neighborhood watch volunteer not guilty in the 2012 death of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin.
But, as with all things
surrounding the divisive case, not everyone shared the view that Martin
was the victim, that the verdict was wrong.
While few, if any,
Zimmerman supporters held rallies celebrating the verdict, on the
"George Zimmerman is Innocent" Facebook page, fans were hawking T-shirts
and stickers hailing Zimmerman and posting messages of encouragement.
